Teen girl shot on street in West Mifflin

An 18-year-old man is considered armed and dangerous by West Mifflin police who are looking for him after a 17-year-old girl was injured in a street shooting.

The suspect, Daniel Greer, is described as black, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 150 pounds. He's wanted on charges of attempted homicide and aggravated assault, and he may have been in a burgundy Saturn car with front-end damage and a missing passenger-side mirror, police said.

Evidence markers lined Division Street after authorities said several shots were fired Sunday night, hitting the girl who was standing on the road.

"I heard all this, 'Bang, bang, bang, bang,' and (a neighbor) came across the street, banging on the door. She said a girl's been shot. I look outside, and she's lying right in the middle of the street," said neighbor Barbara Smith.

West Mifflin police said the teen was hit in the hip, and the shots were fired by someone inside a car. Neighbors called 911, and the teen was rushed to the UPMC Mercy.

"It sounded like a movie out here with all the popping. I mean, this is a quiet street. We never have this trouble," said Smith.

Police said the victim knows the shooter, but they refused to confirm what their relationship is.

Investigators said the shooter drove away, smashing into a couple of parked cars while escaping.

Neighbors said the teen is a nice, quiet girl, and they are praying she recovers. "Everybody's close on this hill. We take care of each other, and it's just a shock," said Smith.
